        (3) Subject’s naval record 
 
1.  Pursuant to the provisions of references (a) and (b) Subject, hereinafter referred to as Petitioner, filed enclosure (1) with the Board for Correction of Naval Records (Board) requesting, in effect, that the applicable naval record be corrected to establish entitlement to a zone “A” Selective Reenlistment Bonus (SRB). 
                                              
2.  The Board, consisting of  reviewed Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice on 24 May 2019 and, pursuant to its regulations, determined that the corrective action indicated below should be taken on the available evidence of record.  Documentary material considered by the Board consisted of the enclosures, relevant portions of the Petitioner’s naval record, and applicable statutes, regulations and policies. 
 
3.  The Board, having reviewed all the facts of record pertaining to Petitioner’s allegations of error and injustice, finds as follows: 
 
     a.  Before applying to this Board, Petitioner exhausted all administrative remedies available under existing law and regulations within the Department of the Navy. 
 
     b.  In correspondence attached as enclosure (2), the office having cognizance over the subject matter addressed in Petitioner’s application has commented to the effect that the request has merit and warrants favorable action. 
                                
CONCLUSION 
 
Upon review and consideration of all the evidence of record, and especially in light of the contents of enclosure (2), the Board finds the existence of an injustice warranting the following corrective action:  Petitioner received BUPERS Orders on 1 May 2018 to “C” School with an anticipated gradation date of 19 July 2018.  Upon graduation from “C” School on 19 July 2018, Petitioner was eligible for SRB entitlement while attached to immediate duty station.  Petitioner detached from intermediate duty station on 20 July 2018.  Since Petitioner executed reenlistment after detaching from immediate duty station, Petitioner was no longer eligible for SRB entitlement at gaining command on 5 September 2018.     
 
RECOMMENDATION 
 
That Petitioner’s naval record be corrected, where appropriate, to show that: 
 
Petitioner was discharged and reenlisted on 19/20 July 2018, vice 4/5 September 2018.  The term is 6 years.    
 
This change will entitle the Petitioner to a zone “A” SRB with an award level of 1.5 (30,000 dollar award ceiling) for the GSM rate.  Remaining obligated service to 31 August 2019 will be deducted from SRB computation.    
                                                             
A copy of this Report of Proceedings will be filed in Petitioner’s naval record. 
 
4.  It is certified that quorum was present at the Board’s review and deliberations, and that the foregoing is a true and complete record of the Board’s proceedings in the above entitled matter. 
 
5.  Pursuant to the delegation of authority set out in Section 6(e) of the revised Procedures of the Board for Correction of Naval Records (32 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 723.6(e)) and having assured compliance with its provisions, it is hereby announced that the foregoing corrective action, taken under the authority of reference (a), has been approved by the Board on behalf of the Secretary of the Navy.
